Spanish police have detained 23 people in “incidents” in the
southern city of Sevilla ahead of the Copa del Rey final that pits Barcelona
against Valencia, they said on Saturday.
“Last night in Sevilla, police detained 23 people (who now
won’t be able to go to the Copa del Rey final) and seized blunt objects during
incidents in the Nervion area,” police tweeted.
Nervion houses the Sevilla FC stadium.
They added five police officers were slightly hurt.
A police spokesman could give no further details.
Local media, however, reported that those detained were
members of the Boixos Nois, a group of ultra supporters of FC Barcelona.
Online sports site ElDesmarque reported they had been
looking for a fight with ultra supporters of Sevilla.
